Small group coaching with Wendy Batten
NO ONE TAUGHT YOU
HOW TO BE A BUSINESS OWNER
And yet, here you are. Trying to manage a retail business in a pandemic year.
If you are like many retailers I work with you may be an accidental entrepreneur, running a business on instinct and “just winging it”, learning as you go. But now…you are realizing you need a little more help. You’re trying to juggle daily growing demands, pivoting to stay profitable amid all the changes, hoping to drive consistent foot traffic through the doors in a business climate new to us all, and in the midst of it all — find time to have a life. It’s a lot.
Maybe it’s time to step off the hamster wheel and truly become ‘the CEO’ of your business. Not the fancy Tesla driving corporate version, but the Creative CEO, who is confident and has plans in place for business growth.
The Creative CEO who knows the numbers and can take the right actions to stay profitable. The Creative CEO who understands that business foundations are key to designing a successful retail business that doesn’t run you ragged in the process.
You may be asking, How can YOU become the Creative CEO you need to be when all you feel is overwhelmed?
Where to start?
The solution is finding the right path, and I can help!
